Air marshal
Promotion to the rank of air marshal requires a solid record of military achievement by an air vice marshal.
Appointment and promotion
Air marshal is directly appointed and promoted by the federal government[5] in accordance with rules and regulations of air force ordinance.[8] An officer with two-star rank (air vice marshal) is appointed to the rank of air marshal throughout the Pakistan air force history.[9][10] It helds air chief marshal ranks upon next promotion.[11]
Statutory limits
Since it's the second-highest rank coupled with additional powers and benefits, the law of Pakistan restricts the use of unsanctioned power by a three-star marshal and can be constraint under a certain constitutional amendment.[12]
